Newfanzone Wimbledon 2015 Preview

The third and world most prestigious Grand Slam competition takes center stage on Monday and Newfanzone.com takes an in-depth look on the chances of the big names and possible upsets in the competition.

MEN’S PREVIEW

Obviously the favorite going into Wimbledon will have to be Novak Djokovic. The Serb who is the top seed for this competition will look to defend his title following the footstep of Swiss Great Roger Federer who is also in this competition. Novak’s mental strength will push him through again and he will make at least the Semis in this competition.

British No.1 Andy Murray had a good clay court season and just recently won at the Queens. If there is anybody who loves to play in Wimbledon it has to be the Scott Andy Murray.

Since getting married to Kim Sears the third seed has only lost to Novak Djokovic and the Wimbledon title might just be the perfect wedding gift for him.

Second seed and 7 time champion Roger Federer have not been in great form this year with a third round exit in Australia and a loss in the last eight at Roland Garros to compatriot and eventual winner Stanislas Wawrinka.
Even though the Swiss recently won at Halle, the form of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will be too much for the Swiss to cope and a Semi-final finish will be great for the Swiss.

Spaniard Rafael Nadal has had a bad start to 2015 which has made him slip down to tenth in the rankings. The two time Wimbledon champion recently won the Stuttgart Open but was also disappointing at the Queens.

Rafael Nadal is a big name anytime but I don’t think he has all it takes to win the title this year.

Newfanzone.com player to watch for 2015 Kei Nishikori has had a fairly good season so far by his standards with a Barcelona Open title in the bag.

The 5th seed is good technically but needs to work more on his physical abilities if he wants to win Grand slams in the future.

Other players who can upset the big names and make it to the last four in the competition include; Stanislas Wawrinka, Milos Raonic, Tomas Berdych and Kevin Anderson.

NEWFANZONE VERDICT

It is going to be a tight one in Wimbledon but Andy Murray might yet win another Wimbledon title and he is our pick for the title.

WOMEN’S PREVIEW

Serena Williams looks like the woman to beat in every Grand Slam competition and going by what we have seen so far this year,there is no doubt that she is the favorite to win the title in Wimbledon even though she is not the defending champion.

Serena has not won on Grass since winning the Olympics title in 2012 in London and she has not gone Past the fourth round of Wimbledon since last winning it in 2012 but trust the American to win this one as she eyes Steffi Graf’s record of winning all four Grand Slams in a year.

World No.4 Maria Sharapova has not really played well this year despite winning titles in Brisbane and Rome.

Winning the title in Wimbledon might be a way to show the world that she is still a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the big stage in women’s tennis.

Defending Champion and second seed Petra Kvitova is one lady that can give Serena a run for her money when it comes to playing on grass.

The Czech has made the quarter-finals in her last 5 Wimbledon tournaments and it seems SW-19 is her favorite when it comes to Grand Slams competition.

French Open finalist Lucie Safarova will be one person to watch after her impressive performance at Roland Garros. The Czech No.2 might have form easy to come by and make two successive Grand Slam finals.
